Invisible tempo markings
Hi
I have noticed that in some scores some features appear "greyed out". I would like to know how this is achieved.
I have a score (version 2.0RC) that changes tempo at several places but I don't want to set definitive speeds in the printed copy. I just want to suggest "faster/slower" (via shift/control T and entering the text). I would like to set an "invisible" tempo marking just so that playback is more representative of what I want (so I don't have to tweak the tempo bar on the play panel as the score plays) but I don't want the "hidden" tempo to be printed, just the written indication.
Can anyone help?
Incidentally I love the latest version. It seems to be very stable
Many thanks to all for a great product.
Andrew

On my keyboard (US QWERTY), "v" is right between "c" and "b". I guess it is possible keybaords in some countries don't have this key, but then, how did you type it?
If your keyboard lacks a "v" key, you can also use the Inspector to toggle the visibility of selected elements.

Hmmmm

Of course I have the 'v' key, but selecting the tempo marking and pressing 'v' didn't seem to work, so I thought I must be being dim about it.
However I have now figured it out with your help. In fact I discover that 'v' is a toggle to make it visible and invisible.
Many thanks

I've noticed that when I press "v" the tempo changes to the color gray. Will the tempo be visible if I print the score?

No. The marking is shown on screen so you can still edit it. If you want a preview of how it will appear in print, you can turn off the display of invisible elements in the View menu.

How do I change it once it has been greyed out.

Same as you’d change it if it weren’t greyed out - double click any text element to edit the text, or use the Properties panel in the sidebar to alter other properties.

The 'v' button switches between visible and invisible. Select an element and press 'v' several times to see its behavior.
However, if you have selected 'grey' as the color (instead of switching it to invisible), you must reselect the color in the properties.
